**Live date: Wednesday, April 29 · 12:00 PM ET**

_Babesia_ is often considered in the clinical picture, yet it is not consistently recognized or detected. Variability in clinical presentation, pathogen biology, and diagnostic methods can make interpretation challenging, even when testing has been performed.

**Featuring real clinical cases where _Babesia_ was not identified through standard approaches.**

Join us for a clinical webinar exploring why _Babesia_ remains difficult to fully evaluate and how clinicians can better understand the gap between patient presentation and diagnostic results.

**Presented by:**

**Jennifer Miller, PhD**  
**Vice President of Clinical and Scientific Operations**  
**CLIA Laboratory Technical Supervisor**

### About the Webinar

In this session, Jennifer C. Miller, PhD, Vice President of Clinical and Scientific Operations; CLIA Laboratory Technical Supervisor at Galaxy Diagnostics, will examine _Babesia_ as a model for understanding diagnostic uncertainty in vector-borne disease.

Using real clinical cases, this webinar explores how symptom presentation, pathogen biology, research limitations, and diagnostic methods intersect to create complexity in detection and interpretation.

You’ll gain a clearer understanding of why results may not align with the clinical picture and how to approach these cases with greater confidence.

###### Learnings

✔ Why _Babesia_ may not be consistently detected, even when present.

✔ How parasitemia and organism behavior impact test sensitivity

✔ The difference between immune response (serology) and organism detection

✔ Why results may appear negative or discordant across methods

✔ How to interpret results within the context of clinical presentation

✔ What questions to ask when results do not match the clinical picture

###### Who Should Watch

Clinicians managing chronic, persistent, or multisystem symptoms  
Providers evaluating patients with suspected vector-borne disease  
Integrative and functional medicine practitioners  
Healthcare professionals seeking clarity on diagnostic interpretation

_This session is intended for clinicians and licensed healthcare providers only._

###### Clinical Context

Patients may present with fatigue, cognitive dysfunction, dyspnea, and other systemic symptoms that are difficult to fully explain through standard diagnostic approaches.

In many cases, testing has been performed, yet results remain inconclusive or difficult to interpret.

Understanding how biology, detection, and methodology interact can help clinicians better navigate these cases and refine their diagnostic approach.
